PISCATAWAY — Dan Donigan has about a million soccer jerseys stuffed in his drawers and closets, but he still wants one more.

“I tell all my guys when they get drafted, all I ask from them is one thing,” the Rutgers head mens soccer coach said. “If they make the team, I want a team jersey with their name on the back to hang in my office.”

The next jersey Donigan wants is a Toronto FC shirt with the name Eze on the back.

In the midst of Tuesday’s blizzard, Rutgers’ Kene Eze became the 60th player chosen in the MLS SuperDraft, taken by Toronto as the third pick in the fourth round. He is also the first Rutgers player drafted during the four-year Donigan era.

“He still needs to go to camp and make the team,” Donigan said, “but it’s very exciting.

“He was a kid we went after in our very first class.”

Eze spent his first season at William Paterson.

Eze missed half of his senior season because of a hamstring issue but returned to score four goals against Cincinnati in an American Athletic Conference Tournament first-round game. He then assisted on the winning goal against Louisville in a quarterfinal win.

For his career, Eze has 22 goals and eight assists and led the Scarlet Knights in scoring in both his sophomore and junior seasons. Despite missing six games last fall, he still tied for the lead in scoring with a team-high eight goals and four assists.

Eze is Sayreville’s all-time leading scorer with 106 goals. He was a finalist for the New Jersey Gatorade Player of the Year.

He becomes the 16th Knight taken in the MLS Draft and the first since Chicago picked Yannick Salmon in 2011.

“It was actually his birthday when he got selected, so he had the same birthday as my brother Joe — two superstars born on the same day,” Donigan said, laughing. “It’s coincidental he got picked on his birthday, but it was a nice birthday gift.”

Eze was actually chosen ahead of several players who were invited to the MLS Combine, although Donigan feels the fact he was injured is probably what prevented Kene from being invited.

“He was very excited when I talked to him,” said Donigan, who had more than 15 players drafted while he coached at the University of St. Louis. “Especially since he knew he missed a good portion of season and that probably hindered his season.

“But he did enough with us over the three years to get noticed. We were pleasantly surprised he got drafted, but I also think he could be a great surprise for Toronto FC. He has some qualities to make it to the next level.”

What are those qualities?

“He’s not a kid who’s going to come into a training environment and light the world on fire,” Donigan said. “But when you get him in a game, he’s got great speed, a great instinct in the final third of the field and he can score goals. Those are special traits coaches like to have on the team.”

Toronto is coming off a 6-17 season and finished ninth in the 10-team Eastern Conference. It missed the MLS playoffs for the seventh straight year.

Toronto had some recent big signings with U.S. National Team star Michael Bradley, son of former Princeton and U.S. National Team head coach Bob Bradley, and Jermain Defoe, a veteran forward with Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League.

“What a great opportunity for a young kid like Kene to go play with Michael Bradley and Jermain Defoe,” Donigan said. “Kene grew up watching Bradley on the U.S. team and watching Defoe play for Tottenham.

“I also know (Toronto head coach) Ryan Nelsen. I know he’ll look out for Kene, be fair with him and give him a good chance to make the team.”

And give Donigan a good chance to add to that jersey collection.

Donigan is leaving Wednesday for a week-long recruiting trip in Jamaica.

“We’re trying to expand our recruiting base and get some connections down there,” he said. “We’ve made some great inroads. That’s become a hot spot, there are a lot of good kids down there.”
